Description

2. Describe the feature request

If someone accidentally opens an article it still gets marked as read. If we wanted to unmark that, thats multiple gestures. I also open articles but not read it, because sometimes the title does not get shown as a whole on the flow page. I recommend only marking articles as read if some time has passed. For example 5 or 10 seconds. This could also be customized.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing where opening an article marks it read and how the flow page handles article titles; define the delay and whether it is configurable. Done means accidental opens do not immediately mark articles read and the selected delay is respected.
